Linfamy hey I know you know more about samurai and Japanese culture but I was wondering if you knew anything about a samurai named Ibuki
@GameWizard21st dunno, was there?
Genji was from Yoshitsune.

To limit Miyamoto Musashi to one story does him a disservice. The man was truly legendary. One duel he showed up very late so that he could fight such that the sun was low and at his back the whole time, blinding his opponent. Many called him dishonorable for some of the tactics he used, but a true warrior can turn the world around them into a weapon against their opponent.
Indeed. Quite a clever tactic I guess.

And a head like a football.
You kiss your mom with that mought??!
So this is where Oda sensei get his references when Zoro's sword get stolen and he had to fight for it on the bridge.
I think even how Benkei died was his inspiration for Whitebeard👀
@@afidawg6967 fr
thats all i was thinking about
I was about to comment this haha
And for ace to I think how he was inside his mums belly for so long
Cool. Especially talking about Musashi. But there are some that deserve some credit. Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi, the famous one eyed samurai. Although, there were reports about him having both eyes, but he was still legit.
Tomoe Gozen. The famed samurai woman who was putting in work during the Heian era during the Genpei War by being both a great archer, and swordsman.
Yasuke. The black samurai who was a former slave that got off a Portuguese ship, and ended up serving under Oda Nobunaga as a samurai. And he became the first foreign person to become a samurai which will also happen to other foreigners after him.
Finally, the one eyed dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune. He was as intelligent, as he was skilled, and aggressive. And he was even considered progressive for his time by being open to western knowledge, and technology in a similar way that Nobunaga did.
Sorry for the long comment. Liked the video, and I would also like to check out the Shogunate channel, as well. It seems interesting to learn from.
Yasuke got an Netflix animation if I remember it correctly!!
@@lordzockt1853 yes but it was Garbage and had mechs and fairies and shit

There is also William Adams also became a Samurai too in 1600. He was an English sailor from Kent, learned how to become a navigator, sailed with the Dutch to Japan and then he served Tokugawa Ieyasu till he died. The guy became part of his inner circle primarily because of his knowledge of astrology, shipbuilding, navigation and other maritime tid-bits. He was crucial to the new Shogun's navy. In fact the miniseries Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune, is based on this man.

You are 🥺
You're missing the part where Musashi also stood with his back facing the sun so as to disguise the length of his blade whilst he raised it above his head. With all the sunlight bleeding, it was impossible to tell that he also had a Odachi so Sasaki thought it was a regular Katana.
It Yoshitsune's time was an interesting one. At that time, they had not standardized the suicide ritual of seppukku and were still figuring the whole thing out. The worse part about researching seppukku was that they can't exchange notes when the ritual went extremely well.
Oh hey! Honda Tadakatsu!! He was the daimyo of where I live. We've got a big beautiful statue of him in the park! His kids were powerful warriors too, even his daughter. One of his sons went on to inherit Himeji castle.
Yeah, Komatsuhime! (Born Inahime)
OMG YOU'RE COLLABORATING WITH THE SHOGUNATE. THAT'S ONE OF MY OTHER FAVORITE UA-cam CHANNELS!!!!!!!!!!!

@@dorthymcgrane1290 Agreed. Subscribed to both Linfamy and The Shogunate

Everyone: Now This is some real sh•t! 👌👌👌
inspired Hanayama kaoru's The Standing Man tattoo
I was hoping to hear about Musashi especially after reading the books by Eiji Yoshikawa(which you oughta read, Linfamy, it's a great series) and you did not disappoint :)
3:50 I love Benkei’s expression here. He looks like a man who meant to fart but realized he just shit himself lol.
O Man .... Yours is the BEST show on youtube , Swords , Epic Battles , AWESOME !
:D
Love both these channels! This video was a super fun watch. I'm excited to watch the other part on TheShogunate's channel! Thanks for all the hard work, you two!!
:D
One Piece's Wano arc is chock full of Japanese myth references and I'm determined to go over your channel as much as I can take, I'm living. Just subscribed 😁
(was so surprised how Zoro vs Gyukimaru is almost 1:1 with the Benkei vs Yoshitsune story im stoked; though the bromance happened with somebody else)
Welcome! First rule of this channel is you must sacrifice a pokemon.
@@Linfamy not my Espurr! 😟

Open up the land of Wano!
Kusunoki Masashige is said to be the true embodiment of Bushido. His loyalty and servitude to his Lord was unmatched and an inspiration for other Samurai.
I live in a town called Chihaya Akasaka Village, where Kusunoki Masanari once lived.
I am very happy to see that Mr. Kusunoki is being introduced abroad.
So much of one piece actually comes from Japanese lore. It makes the story seem so much deeper.
Edit: I hadn’t realized someone already posted about one piece, but that just makes me happier, seeing that I’m not the only one :D
Especially the part with the 1000 sword guy on the bridge
@@mmfreshmeat2860 To me, I always associate that with Gilgamesh more than anyone.
@@blackknightjack3850 sure, but oda literally put a guy with 1000 swords on a bridge
This was a great debate!!
YOOoOoO
Benke also become a fisherman man after the 999 sword
According to Okami
I love these channel crossovers!!!
I love these comment crossovers!
“Kojiro was a big man and he had a big sword” 😂😂😂
And get owned by Musashi boat oar.
Edit : I respect Kojiro, he was a good rival for Musashi.
No no no no no no no no stop
Clearly, size isn't everything. It's not the size of the prize, it's the motion of the shogun.
ah yeah, early for linfamy, time to moisten my brain wrinkles with knowledge
btw got my sekiro katana and bottomless box yesterday thanks @linfamy
Woohoo! Destroy your enemies for me.
i love japanese history and samurai daimyo and many more so i love watching your videos hope you up more history video like this.This is so good
Dammit, I was hoping to see the legend of Yoshitsune’s survival...
studying Japanese folklore and history while playing Nioh 1 and 2 gives me chills down the spine.. im a good way
Lmao same, i've been really interested in yokai and japanese history ever since i started playing nioh 1 and 2
I love both of yall!! I hope we can get more vidoes like this
Yes, more sweet knowledge.
We need more of this series! 👍
The story about Kusunoki Masashige actually contains a true legend itself.
Masashige daughter in law was Iga No tsubone.
As you said, Masashige suggested to Go-daigo to retreat but the emperor decided to fight and follow the plan of a man called Fujiwara no Kyokata.
then Minatogawa battle happened, everyone did seppuku and it was the end as you said, Kyokata too was forced to commit seppuku because he got the blame for the faliure
When the imperial court went to Yoshino to escape everyone, the young daughter Iga no Tsubone started seeing a ghost.
this ghost was Kyokata who felt a huge anger towards the imperial court.
Iga no tsubone already proved her great strenght by using a tree to help the empress bypass a river to Yoshino, and now she stared directly at the ghost and shouted to him TO GO AWAY and the ghost did so.
this story has a very cool series of Ukiyo-e prints, featuring in 100 aspects of the moon by Yoshitoshi

YES! The collab I've been waiting for!
Also: now I need to find a movie or show about these heroic boyfriends.
Cool to see how this story is paralelled in Nioh 2; and that they kept it relatively close to the real thing.
Damn the sass of Linfamy in this vid ! good showdown:D
"He looked down and started salivating, he saw the sword"
Yeah, pretty sure he looked down and salivated because of it hmm
The first one was the best. Truly heroic.
Wait, Benkei and Yoshistune meet in a bridge!?
Okami (The game) is very spot on in those tiny details too XD
Okami sounds fun =)
Yup! Is one of my favorite games of all time.
A great duel of storys, very original and good content. Not bad fella's
Thanks again for a kick-ass video Lindaddy !!! Out camping in BC ND woke up to this beauty :)!!!!
Oh nice! Have fun with the camping :D
very well done, historical video just subbed 👏
Benkei sounds like that character from One Piece that keeps trying to stab Zoro in the back during the Wano arc.
i've been to Gojo bridge!
well... i've stood on the road bridge that replaced it and looked down and seen the remains of it's pilings in the water.
The first story of benkei standing even when he died gives me Manga flash backs of yoriichi dying standing up straight that even death couldn't bring him to his knees.
You got a subscriber!
two of my favorite channel that cover history of japan collaborating??!!!
what is this? Christmas ?
Cool. So got my sword yesterday with the bottomless box. Thanks linfamy. It was awesome.
Woohoo! Hope you like it
Shogunate: *starts talking*
Me: When the fuq did an english dub anime start playing?
;)
@@TheShogunate seriousely go into voice acting for anime. I had to do a double take
“HONDA tadakatsu”? No wonder he left all of his fights without a scratch.
I dunno, aren't Hondas the most stolen car? 😂
@@Linfamy Exactly. Because of how durable they are.
@@AyubuKK ah I see 🤔
@@Linfamy 👍
My favourite joke so far X )
However, Musashi was also known to be different type of a samurai, called a Ronin.
A Ronin is a samurai with no lord to serve under.
What I knew about Musashi and Kojiro's duel was that Musashi overslept, forgot his sword, and just took whatever he had nearby. Kojiro was furious, yes, so he went full bananas and attacked Musashi. He missed his attack because Musashi panicked a bit and Musashi's wooden oar hit Kojiro's head. It was a duel ended in a single strike because Musashi panicked and happen to swing his oar to the right direction. But I doubt that was the case. I'm sure Musashi just want to make Kojiro pissed so that he'd be easily defeated.
Awesome job you two
Thank you
@@Linfamy you're welcome
Ah, Tadakatsu "Hondam" Honda.
(I just really like that Sengoku Basara series just chose to depicted this unbeatable warrior as a frikkin' Gundam. )
BroBenkei - "Yo, check this, I got 999 katanas but Yoshitsune's sword ain't one."
Love your vids
Love your comments
Me early:gotta type something quirky so I can be noticed and popular
Good luck :P
Linfamy thanks
3:30 To this day, the term for being stranded somewhere and unable to proceed is _tachi-ōjō_ (立ち往生), a reference to Benkei’s “standing death”.
I like how the first time I heard about Yoshitsune and Benkei is from a Legend Rare unit on Battle Cats named "Ushiwakamaru" and "Colossal Benkei". They pretty much turned Benkei into a giant mecha XD
I watched this video twice
From your channel to shognate's channel from his channel to yours and *cough cough * end up in the loop of lust for more videos
It's an infinite loop 😱
Yes
Great video about Samurai 👍
XD I saw the statue of Lord Honda and went "HONDA TADAKATSU!"
Aahh yes samurais
I love this :) make more content like this :)
Please turn Benkei into a Recurring Character who just Stole your Sword.
XD
@@Linfamy Also Some Fujiwaka dude wants you to Marry his Sister.
I mean... Linfamy won easily because Miyamoto Musashi, my favorite story from Japan
A relative of mine also came from every battlefield without a scratch and I managed to get cut by a Katana in Europe... Sigh.
This relative of mine worked in Bosnia, Egypt, Syria and probably every sh!thole of Africa and Latin America.
Another relative of mine was hit by a bomb in WWII and continued fighting despite multiple shrapnel wounds and as it later turned out, one piece stuck in his brain! Several pieces were inoperable and thus he kept them until he died in his 90s.
Some people survive the impossible, others just get injured by the impossible...
Fun fact: I do know a guy injured by a spear and another by a Sabre and that in this timeline without asking for it... The prior was an attack from behind by a British hooligan. The latter was about a girl and someone forced him to duel with real sabres...
Why did they both have sabres available to fight with? O.o
@@Linfamy one brought them and told him to pick one up, or he'll cut him down. It was essentially attempted murder with extra steps. There was a considerable disparity in fencing skill. If he'd just come with one blade and killed him, he'd be arrested for murder, but if both duel and one dies, it's at best manslaughter...
@@edi9892 that is a crazy story 😮😮😮
Omg a video on my birthday from my fave yt channel? 🥺💗
Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

When you say "hey guys" I felt like you where speaking to me personally
And now... I am speaking to you. Or at least writing XD
@@Linfamy omk. o my kami!
Omg I need more about this
Finally your take on the story of Yoshitsune and Benkei...
Just a short take. There's a lot more obviously =)
😯4:10 Honda Tadakatsu!
I heard about him last year!
I thought he was just a story until it was confirmed to me that He was the real Deal! Plus wielding a masamune!
Before I clicked on this video I knew yoshitsune and benkei so I'm glad you could teach me more
So Benkei is why there's the trope of the challenging/thieving giant who operates at night.
Figures. Originality isn't dead but it plays possum amazingly well.
It's been a while I have not watched you for a long while, I'm going to catch up on the videos I missed.
Came to catch up on some Samurai history after Ikemen Sengoku!🤓
Konnichiwa limfamy san
I love your video
Thank you =)
This was so cool!!!
Honda Tadakatsu died by his own hand. After a little over 100 battles, he never got a scratch, never bled. No one made him bleed. Heihachiro (his courtesy name) actually lived to retire and see old age. IIRC, when he was 60-70, he was chopping wood or doing some kind of woodwork and scratches himself. So the first time he sees his own blood shed, he sees it as time to die and offs himself.
Not one soul:
Benkei: I am the bone of my swords
Unlimited katana works.
18 months?!
Well, I guess I found where Araki took inspiration for Diavolo's birth.
When the notification pop I really hope musashi would be in this list and he made it btw thank you linfamy for letting all of us know about the history of Japan. I am from India though when I watch your first vedio around 8 months before, m pretty much sue it was a yokai one nd after watching that I fell in love with your channel dude I love you ❤️ (no homo)
Awesome, thanks for watching!
it would be awesome if my history teacher wants to go off topic and showed this
And now so many elements of the _Nioh 2_ DLC "The Tengu's Disciple" make so much more sense, right down to why Yoshitsune hops around on the rails of a bridge during his fight.
Yeah, he supposedly used tengu magic while fighting.
Always thought samurai was cool but never knew it’s this interesting
Wish they could just go on and on. Storytellings finest !! #linfamy #linfamie 👹❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great video, the other one as well.
I'm just slightly disappointed about the Musashi part, which I think deserves to be a bit longer. There is so much to say about this man, recognised as the most famous samurai in Japanese popular tradition. Well done anyway
I live in a town called Chihaya Akasaka Village, where Kusunoki Masanari once lived.
I am very happy to see that Mr. Kusunoki is being introduced abroad.
So the creation of the first Tachi was of divine inspiration, as Yagyu Monenori said that swords can be in harmony with the way of heaven.
Yep, Kojiro should have said "no sword play after lunch". We duel tomorrow, before lunch.

The episode of Yoshitsune and Benkei first encounter on the bridge wondrously resembles the story of Robin Hood and Little John first met.
Yoshitsune aint taking no shit-sune
thank you!
Is it just me or Benkei's weapon and died standing up reminds of someone - Whitebeard Edward Newgate
Yesssssssss
benkei reminds me of a one piece character in the wano arc where he collects weapons for an upcoming war, he is also a monk named onimaru.
Mushashi is far more of a figure than you give him credit for.
In example... every single train station in japan is named after geographical fratures, whether its a mountain, town, or a forest. No emperor, shogun, or samurai have the honor of having a train station named after them... tho trains are the lifeblood of japan.
Except... Miyomoto Mushashi... the Mushashi train station in Miyomoto... epic honor.
He defeated kojiro, the demon swordsman of the west, with the oar. According the the Mushashi Museum, Kojiro was not able to guage the length of the oar, and thus, received a blow that defeated him immedietly when attempting to strike.
Also remember that Mushasi commented to Kojiro that Kojiro had already lost the fight, upon seeing Kojiro unsheath his katana and throughing the scabbard in the ocean... pointing out Kojiro the winner of a duel would never throw his scabbard away, for he would need it after he won the fight to re-sheath the sword. I figure this was just an insult of the time, but it set off Kojiro.
There is a statue at the duel site now commemorating this final duel of Mushashi's.
1:13
rich chad: well i have 1000 wifes
edit: 3:35 What's impressive is not him fighting hundreds of enemies but died with honor respect and glory and standing up.
Didn’t mention a lot about musashi especially because he had the nickname the one man invincible under the sun unrivaled under heaven and was known for dirty tactics and his many duels taking out a clan etc
This video is epic
You are epic.
